Typhoon Sarika made landfall in China’s Hainan province on the morning of October 18, bringing rain, strong winds and heavy floods in its wake. This footage shows the wind pushing trees back and forth in Sanya,the southernmost city on Hainan Island and a popular resort and vacation. The uploader comments in the footage that the wind is extremely fierce, and wrote in her captions that she was afraid to walk under trees that line the road. Elsewhere in Hainan, floods caused by Sarika rushed through Qionghai, warranting the evacuation of more than 20,000 people. Credit: weibo.com/mi11ai
